Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale:
1. The nurse should discuss concerns with the parent before any referrals are made.
2. It is not appropriate for the nurse to discuss this concern with the child before discussing it privately with the parent first.
3. It would be inappropriate for the nurse to ask the parent to leave the room to discuss the concern with the child before discussing it privately with the parent first.
4. The best approach to this encounter would be for the nurse to discuss concerns with the parent privately.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Being a clinical nurse specialist or nurse practitioner does not defend the nurse against these accusations if he does not follow the Society of Pediatric Nurses standards of practice.
Rationale 2: Meeting the Society of Pediatric Nurses standards of practice would cover the pediatric nurse against an accusation of malpractice or negligence because the standards are rigorous and cover all bases of excellent nursing practice.
Rationale 3: Acting on the advice of the nurse manager is not enough to defend the nurse from accusations because the advice could be wrong or unethical.
Rationale 4: Following the physician's written orders is not enough to defend the nurse from accusations because the orders could be wrong or unethical.
Global Rationale:
